Exterior

Simply Sophisticated

Aerodynamic allure

Wings

The XLS+’s low-drag, straight-wing design contributes powerfully to its short takeoff and landing performance. Control surfaces on the wing include an outboard aileron, two graphite composite flap sections per wing, as well as upper and lower speed brakes. For clear visibility, the wing tips integrate navigation lights, strobe lights, and flush-mounted landing lights.

LED lights

Long-lasting, durable LED strobe lights are built into the wing tips for visibility and navigation.

Windshield

An electrically heated windshield prevents ice and fog as well as helps to keep the cockpit quiet.

Baggage compartment

Landing gear

An open-center hydraulic system operates the XLS+’s trailing-link main gear, speed brakes, and thrust-reversers. A separate, independent system powers multiple-disc carbon brakes with anti-skid protection.

Ice protection

Three methods of ice protection come standard on the XLS+ and include electric heat for windshields and sensors, pneumatic boots on the horizontal stabilizer, and bleed air for engine inlets and wing leading edges.

Select Your Personal Touches

The options for jet interior finishes are designed to suit your impeccable tastes by our own dedicated in-house designers, with over 35 years of combined aircraft design experience.

The standard configured cabin includes four pullout tables and two electrical outlets that provide 110-volt AC power for laptops and portable electronics. The VIP seat in this configuration includes cabin lighting and temperature controls.

Closets and Additional Space

Depending on your chosen configuration, a custom-sized closet with removable and adjustable shelves will be installed in the forward cabin, accommodating a variety of belongings during flight.

Additional various-sized closets and refreshment centers can be added to any configuration along with side-facing seat and sofa combinations, cockpit sliding doors, moving map displays and entertainment systems.

Avionics

The brain of the XLS+

The heart of your travel

The pilot needs to know different flight-critical information at various times during each phase of the flight, which is why the XLS+ is equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21™. This line of avionics provides weather navigation systems, airport diagrams, detailed flight status data, checklists, diagnostic systems and are directly in the crew’s line of sight. Angled control panels and four tilted eight by ten inch displays show flight information in simple, clear readouts.

With upgraded software, pilots can view satellite imagery with NEXRAD overlays, see Temporary Flight Restrictions (FSR) both in graphical and textual formats, view winds aloft and view cloud-to cloud lightning with strikes data refreshed every five minutes. Images and data are available at any altitude and are processed through a receiver supplied on a Head-Up Display (HUD) technologies which are then stored in the file server unit (FSU) for immediate access.

Uncompromising safety

The XLS+ is equipped with a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) powered by the Collins TCAS-4000. The system tracks all other aircraft within a 35-nautical-mile radius. The system will select and display only the aircraft traffic that poses a collision threat along with audible traffic alerts and resolution advisories to assist pilots in maneuvering around potential hazards. If the other aircraft detected in the system is also equipped with TCAS technology, each system will coordinate complementary maneuvers to correct the situation.

Specifications

Outperforming your expectations

Detailed Specifications

Performance data is based on the standard XLS+ configuration, operating in International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions with zero wind. Takeoff and landing field lengths are based on a level, hard surface and dry runway.

Actual performance will vary with factors such as environmental conditions, aircraft configuration and operational/ATC procedures.

Powerplant

Two, dual-channel FADEC-controlled Pratt & Whitney Canada™ PW545C turbofan engines are installed on the XLS+. The PW545C produces a static takeoff thrust of 4,119 pounds (18.32kN) at sea level, up to 77˚F (25˚C) and has a bypass ratio of 3.8:1. Hydraulically actuated, target-type thrust reversers are attached to each engine. An APU is incorporated for engine start and other benefits.
